The Trump administration is getting ready to add countries to its list of six nations whose citizens are banned from traveling to the U.S. due to national security concerns, according to a report Friday morning.
The Department of Homeland Security proposal would go into effect Sunday, the expiration of the 90-day travel ban against select countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
DHS recently flagged 17 unspecified nations that have failed to meet U.S. standards for screening travelers and ignored other government mandates.
About half of those countries made changes to be more in line with U.S. security standards, but the remaining half did not, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Those remaining eight or nine countries will see different types of visa bans and other restrictions, not necessarily a flat-out ban on all travel.
One official familiar with the pending change said the new system creates "tailored sanctions commensurate with their deficiencies."
The eight or nine countries that will be affected will see the restrictions lifted only when they fully cooperate with all U.S. policies.
President Trump will make the final decision on the proposal, but the plan is scheduled to be announced Sunday. Following this week's terror attack in London, Trump had called for a "far larger, tougher and more specific" travel ban.
Or you get early warning of them through the sense of smell.
President Trump needs to put North Korea on the list. Among other things, that will make it harder to pretend that his list is discriminating against Islam.
I wish he could ban immigrants from everywhere, until we figure out who the whackjob Moslems are... but no, Trump is now firmly under the thumb of the Establishment, and they want the invasion to continue.
So 9 more countries added to the travel ban tells you that he’s given up to the establishment? When he annihilates North Korea will you label him a peacenik?
Will one of the countries be California?
I wish we could put a 10 year moratorium on all immigration but the courts would never allow it. Trump is bottle necking the process with extreme vetting so he’s doing the best he can while deporting as many illegals as possible. We already see a difference in our area with illegal Hispanics.
Now its the Muslims and Indians moving in which will be slowed due to this travel ban and the reduction that should happen with H1-b visas.
